What Happens if My HSA Account Runs Out of Funds?

When you use your Health Savings Account (HSA) and there are no funds left in it, don't worry, your account won't go under. Your HSA will remain open, and you can still use it for eligible medical expenses once you have funds in it again.

It's essential to understand how an HSA works to make the most out of it:

• HSAs are like a savings account for medical expenses
• You can only use funds that are available in your account
• If your HSA balance is low or zero, you won't be able to use it for expenses until you contribute more money
• Contributions to an HSA are tax-deductible, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free

Remember, your HSA is a valuable tool for managing healthcare costs, so it's beneficial to keep funds in it for future medical needs.

If your Health Savings Account (HSA) runs out of funds, there’s no need to panic as it will remain intact. You can continue to add money whenever you can, and when the balance is restored, you can use it for qualifying medical expenses. Remember, HSAs act as a safety net for your healthcare costs, saving you plenty in taxes along the way.
